Jordan is professional and proficient. I gave him a task to blend new Polynesian art work with a 30yr old tribal tattoo. I couldn't have asked for anything better. He listened to my ideas and pulled off an awesome tattoo. I will be going back for my other arm.
Jordan and his daughter made me feel comfortable, at home and excited about my first tattoo. I have been thinking about getting a tattoo for many years but never quite felt I had something important enough to permanently portray on my body until I had my daughter. Her disability and the ventures that it has led to throughout her life and the addition to mine as well as the rest of my family has been memorable and transformative.

Communication was fantastic start to finish. I had a great experience working with Jordan. He listened to my story and designed a freehand piece of artwork to fit my canvas. Jordan asked for trust his process, and I'm so happy I did. I'm enlightened with thoughts of future additions to my current piece.
